“We built a team. We built a family.And that family really helped us grow that business to where we ended up.”

On this episode of the Entreprenista podcast, we sit down with healthcare founder, investor, and serial entrepreneur Chantelle Preston for an unfiltered conversation about what success really looks like—and what it actually takes to build a business that lasts.

From launching and scaling a neuro-rehabilitation company to selling it to private equity, Chantelle shares the behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship: the payroll scares, the hard pivots, the moments of self-doubt, and the grit required to keep going when no one else sees the struggle. She opens up about what she learned navigating M&A as often the only woman in the room—and how that experience reshaped her mission to invest in and empower more women founders.
